e-mail question?

Question

I received a nasty e-mail a while ago from someone whom I don't keep in contact with anymore. I have never deleted it.
My question is, even though I have their e-mail, a couple of months old, sitting in my saved e-mail folder, if needed can the authorities still trace it to the person, or is it too late to track them down because this old e-mail, or if they changed ISP? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Yes it's possible, and keep it and print it also because it can be use in court as a evidence.

And even if they change ISP the old ISP has the records from him and has all the personal information attached to it which it will not be avaible to you but if you go to court they will be able to prove it were it came from

Answer 2

If the e-mail is pretty old, it’s difficult to track the source of the e-mail. But you can try to track the mil by your self. An year ago I helped one of my friend to track down this kind of a mail. All you need is a new mail and the header information of that email. There is great software which you can use to track down the geo location (shows in a map even) of the sender as well as the source ISP and lot of other details. Try the link source link.

Answer 3

Yes,it's hard to trace.try to contact the ISP and check the log.

Answer 4

man, to trace a e-mail is too late if 2-3 minutes have already passed.... believe me.

still, you can try.
